💡 Critical: If your doctor says “Just take ibuprofen,” but symptoms persist: Get a second opinion. Knee swelling is never “normal.”
💫 Final Thought: Your Knee Isn’t Broken—It’s Asking for Help
That swollen knee isn’t “just bad luck.”
It’s your body’s last line of defense—warning you before cartilage shreds, infection spreads, or a clot travels.
So next time you notice:
✅ Glance at the color (red = emergency)
✅ Test the temperature (hot = infection)
✅ Check for calf swelling (blood clot risk)
Because the difference between a $50 office visit and a $50,000 knee replacement?
👉 It’s written in your swollen knee.
